I would try netting her and then confining her to a small area (maybe a small cage) for a few days so you can treat her. Good luck! Let me know how you make out.

Hi, I gave the chickens their 1st dosage of Eprinex. I will do it again in 10 days as you've said. Thanks, again, for your help. Carol

Yeah. I will wait to get them until I give my chickens their 2 treatments.

Thank you. I should be getting the Eprinex in a few days and will apply it the way you've recommended. I'm getting more chickens within the next week or two. They're young and are about to lay. I appreciate all of your good advice.

Thanks, again, for your help. I'm going to purchase that now. One of my chickens, not the one whose toe fell off, died today. They seemed to be doing well. I sure hope that I didn't do anything to make her die. So sad.

Hatchaholic, I wasn't able to purchase the Eprinex. There isn't a local TSC to where I live and when I attempted to purchase it online, they said that it can only be purchased in the store. I tried to purchase it elsewhere and they required a RX prescription. Carol

Thank you, Hatchaholic! The dry, scaly skin is still falling off. Their skin underneath appears to be very sensitive as they appear to be in pain. I feel so bad for them! Can I use neosporin or anything similar to that? I've also contacted TSC for the Eprinex. They have a 250ml for $39.99...

Hi Hatchaholic, As you've suggested, I've completely hosed down their roost, changed the bedding, clipped off the toe and slathered up all their legs with vaseline. In one application, the dry, scaly build-up is falling off. The skin underneath is pink and slightly bleeding (nothing major at...

Thank you so much for your reply! I will start doing this immediately! I love my girls and want them to be happy!

Hi, I rescued 3 Golden Comet's from a poultry farm a few months ago. The back toe on one of my hens appears to have a build up of food, mud or droppings on it so I tried soaking her foot in some water to soften it up so it would fall off. I soon noticed that her back toe is only connected by...

Thanks, blumoonky. She laid her first hard shelled egg yesterday.

Thank you, everyone! I appreciate you're help! I'm sure I will have many more questions. I adopted 3 chickens from a poultry farm about 2-3 months ago. They're golden comets. Two were already laying and the other was the one that just started laying. The 4th was given to me about 2 months ago...

Thank you, Drumstick Diva. I'm glad to hear that nothing is wrong.

Thank you, Happy!

Help! My chicken just laid her 1st egg and it has a soft shell. A few days prior to this, she's laid a yolk. Is this normal. Thanks!
